Chapter 544: Monarch and Minister

The bright yellow curtain and the shadow wall of the carved dragon highlight the identity of the imperial study. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the bookcase of red sandalwood sits in the north and faces south. Fine and small book grids, multi-treasure grids, black lacquer and gold painted piano tables, jade, precious stones, enamel, ivory displays. Filled with endless luxury.

He Shuo, who was sixty-two years old at the time of the Jianji Palace, was wearing a scarlet robe, tall and outstanding. Under the leadership of Xu Yan, the chief eunuch, he entered the imperial study and bowed down and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Yongzhi Tianzi sat behind the bookcase, staring at Scholar He with a scrutinizing gaze, and only after half a loud voice did he say: "Flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Shuo got up, stood upright, and bowed his head slightly. Of course, the courtiers could not look at the emperor. The cuffs under the official robe slipped, and a piece of music was secretly pinched in his hand.

The Son of Yongzhi said slowly, "Why doesn't He Qing follow Xie Xuan's example and live in the mansion, but wait for the situation to be clear." Do you know that my will to the camp is only half an hour away from the time you transfer your troops? Zai Fu is trying to hold the power of the army, He Qing, what do you want to do? ”

Yongzhi Tianzi's question was very heartbreaking. Of course, Scholar He transferred troops without authorization, and he was indeed very culpable. Therefore, at this time, Scholar He did not have the idea of arguing with the Son of Heaven at all. Even, when he first entered the imperial study, he was very humble and careful.

No one is going to mess with their lives. The performance of the wind bones, not at this time. That's called stupidity. At this time, you need to pay attention to the way you speak.

He Shuo knelt on the ground again and said, "Weichen is guilty." As he spoke, he raised his piece with both hands, "Please beg the bones!" After the eunuch had taken away his recital, Scholar He took off his official hat with both hands and placed it on the ground.

The meaning of begging bones is to resign from the government and not do it.

Since the Son of Heaven suspects that you have bad intentions, then, I can always resign, right? No discerning person would accuse Scholar He of having bad intentions in this transfer of troops to quell the rebellion. The quelling of the prince's rebellion was obviously loyal.

But Zaifu has military power and must avoid suspicion.

Scholar He is still very clear about the routines in officialdom. If he resigns, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to cut off his head, right?

Yongzhi Tianzi laughed, "Heh." "The minister's routine, he has been the emperor for so many years, can he still be unclear? The emperor is within the rules, and it is very troublesome to kill an important minister. Of course, if you don't follow the rules, you can do it casually.

It is troublesome to kill an important minister, and it is even more troublesome to abolish an elderly prince who has been many years old. Otherwise, why would he risk the turmoil in the capital. Even, his favorite Yang Guifei is still raising a baby in the palace.

Yongzhi Tianzi didn't look at it, threw the chapter on the desk, and said, "He Shuo, Zai Fu resigns, he has his own process." I don't allow it. ”

Zaisuke's resignation will definitely not be just a resignation. It is necessary to submit the resignation repeatedly. It took many rounds to go back and forth before it could be approved by the emperor. It depends on the degree of the emperor's liking and trust in the minister.

Of course, this is a formality, but inside and outside the court, we need to take this form seriously. It is convenient for all parties to interpret and experience.

Therefore, the words of the Son of Yongzhi were by no means to retain He Daxue, but to say: You go back and prepare for the next resignation.

He Shuo sighed in his heart, he was seeking a way out first, and then seeking others, but he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven really had the intention of deposing him. Also, he actually doesn't like the Son of Heaven very much, so this time he caught the handle for the Son of Heaven and asked him to return to his hometown. But he didn't regret it in his heart.

The Son of Yongzhi looked at He Shuo with blazing eyes and asked, "He Shuo, what else do you have to say?" ”

If Scholar He hadn't said a word of self-defense now. That's not a sign of weakness or self-preservation. On the contrary, rather, I have a lot of opinions about the Son of Heaven in my heart. Let the emperor know that you are "right" and what the ending will be, don't ask. These four words can be condemned.

He Shuo said: "The son said: the king, the minister, the father, the son." Prince Ning Pu and His Majesty are father and son, and they are also monarchs and ministers. Raising an army to rebel and spy on the supreme position is contrary to the general principle and is a rebellion.

There is a saying in the Hanshu: The son makes the father's soldier, and the sin should be punished. The ministers thought they wouldn't take it. and did not dare to go along with it. His Majesty ordered the ministers to stay behind, and the ministers did not dare to be tired. Therefore, the mobilization of troops to quell the rebellion. ”

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Wei prince Liu was defeated and killed. Che Qianqiu said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the son transferred his father's soldiers and horses, and the sin was only a few whips. Sin is not unto death. He said he disagreed. This is a rebellion. He was the minister who stayed behind, so he sent troops to quell the rebellion.

There is no doubt about the political character of Scholar Ho. But he is not a pedantic character. At this time, if you tell the Son of Yongzhi: I am transferring troops for the people of the capital, it is simply brainless. The reason he gave for the transfer of troops was that he believed that the prince violated Confucian theories, such as rules and etiquette. He disagreed.

That's a lot of compulsion.

Anything that rises to such a height is a battle of morality and ideas. There is no possibility of compromise or concession. What kind of school scholar He is usually, Yongzhi Tianzi is clear. It's in keeping with his usual image.

The Son of Yongzhi sat behind the bookcase, staring condescendingly at Scholar He who was kneeling below. In the study, it was as quiet as death. After a while, a very faint smile appeared on the face of the Yongzhi Heavenly Son, and he said, "He Qing is a famous minister. ”

Confucianism, after the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, did not teach the Son of Heaven. Mencius said: I have heard of a husband, but I have not heard of killing a king. This kind of radical thinking is not recognized. At most, the water of the waves is clear, and you can wet it. The water of the waves is turbid, and you can wet my feet.

From the perspective of the Yongzhi Emperor, He Shuo agreed with the Confucian idea of ensuring his loyalty. Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons. Is this a joke? In fact, in some cases, there are still advantages to appointing civil officials.

Civil officials will not rebel!

The atmosphere in the study eased.

He Shuo's heart was relieved, he had passed the test, right?

In the imperial study, after an invisible confrontation of gunsmoke, in the following days, the most eye-catching thing inside and outside the court was that Scholar He wrote a letter to ask for a letter. Mr. Xie's performance on the night of the ninth day of October did not seem to be much of a concern. For a while, the direction of public opinion in the imperial court changed.

After the twelfth resignation, the Emperor of Yongzhi issued an order to let He Shuo leave the house and return to the military aircraft to take care of things. At this time, it was already the end of October. All matters concerning Prince Ning Pu's rebellion have been investigated by Jinyiwei, the Three Law Divisions, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. The documents of conviction and reward shall be handed over to the Military Aircraft Department for court discussion.

There are all kinds of rumors spread throughout the capital. However, there is one article, He Daxue was reactivated by the Son of Heaven, and many things are very clear. For example: Le Bai, the general of the Jingying Xianwu Battalion, is definitely not guilty. For example, Jia Huanjia Tanhua, who hijacked Commander Shi that day and followed Scholar He to Beijing, may be promoted.

At the end of October, there was another heavy snowfall. The cold palace is getting colder and colder. Somewhere in a narrow temple, there was a creak, and the door that had not been opened for half a month was reopened.

Emperor Yongzhi walked into it, in the small room, the crown prince Ning Pu sat on the bed, his eyes were a little cloudy, and after seeing clearly, his eyes gradually became clear, cowardly, with a sneer on his face, just sat like this, and shouted: "Father!" ”
